The brakes last longer that way also. Not sure about the clutch though.

That is not good for your transmission. I downshift into corners so i'm in the right powerband to exit with max torque. Using the engine to slow your car down only stresses parts and will end up costing you much more than brakes when your engine or transmission finaly go.

I know. I've ridden with you before. But alot of people are really bad about it. Just put your car in neutran and coast into stops. The cost of pad wear will be much better than an engine rebuild, a new transmission, or even a clutch...

Thats sure nice of you to give me your brakes.
Or have you worn them out and you want me to recycle them for you.
